Below are the steps for dropping database in Oracle RAC.
1. Make cluster database to FALSE
1 2 3 4 5 6 | SQL> alter system set cluster_database=FALSE scope=spfile sid='*'; System altered. |
2. Stop the db service
1 2 3 4 | Srvctl stop database –d DBACLASS |
3. start the database in mount exclusive mode:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 | SQL> startup mount exclusive restrict ORACLE instance started. Total System Global Area 1.0737E+11 bytes Fixed Size 7647784 bytes Variable Size 8.2410E+10 bytes Database Buffers 2.4159E+10 bytes Redo Buffers 797655040 bytes Database mounted. SQL> select instance_name,status,logins from v$Instance; INSTANCE_NAME STATUS LOGINS ---------------- ------------ ---------- DBACLASS MOUNTED RESTRICTED |
4.Now drop the database:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | SQL> drop database; Database dropped. |
5. Remove the db service from cluster
1 2 3 4 | srvctl remove database -db DBACLASS |
